HAEMOPHILIACS should have a say in the choice of drugs made available to treat their condition, Judge Lindsay says in her report.

THE national committee set up to coordinate services for people with haemophilia held its last meeting 13 years ago and was little more than a “rubber stamp” mechanism up to then.

CUTBACKS left hospitals without the staff and facilities vital to give proper care to people with haemophilia and their families, the Lindsay Report found.

The man widely regarded as the founder of modern haemophiliac treatment in Ireland has received stringing criticism at the Lindsay Tribunal.
